All women have body and facial hair, but it is generally light in colour and very fine. Hirsutism is a condition where excessive growth of hair takes place in women’s faces and bodies.

Rated 4.7 out of 5

The unwanted hair is usually dark & coarse and grows on women’s faces, back, arms, and chests. The pattern of growth of these hairs is related to virilisation.

What causes Excessive Hair?

• Polycystic ovary syndrome is caused due to imbalance of sex hormones
• Crushing syndrome occurs due to a high cortisol level in the body
• There are rare chances of an androgen-secreting tumour in adrenal glands or ovaries that cause hirsutism
• Medication for endometriosis can give rise to the condition of excessive hair growth in the body and facial area

Symptoms of Excess Hair

• Loss of hair from the head takes place on a massive scale causing bald scalp
• The sizes of the breasts are reduced substantially
• Build of acne on the face
• The deepening & hoarse voice of a woman
• Enlargement of the clitoris

Hirsutism is caused mainly due to hormonal imbalance. Though this condition doesn’t lead to physical pain, this might be why depression in many women. This condition arises when male hormones are produced excessively in a woman.

Cannot rate this clinic highly enough. From initial booking and greeting from Carly who is always so lovely and accommodating, through to the treatment with Flavio. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my face. He takes time and pride in his procedures. He makes you feel so special as a patient, he shares advice, he makes you feel safe and talks through everything with you. You leave feeling so confident in your appearance. Flavio’s work is unmatched, truly an artist and a magician.

I had a fabulous deep cleanse facial by Marina and it was spectacular. Amazing results and just what I needed at the end of a holiday! I’ve been to the clinic on a few occasions for this facial and each time it has been the best! It is the only clinic I will go to for a deep cleanse facial as it has demonstrated better results than any other clinic I’ve been to. Marina did my first ever facial at CF so I was thrilled to have another appointment with her! I really appreciated the time and care she put into my facial. I love how the extraction process doesn’t cause much redness, so when you are leaving the clinic your face isn’t blotchy or painful.

I’ve been coming to clinica Flore for a few years now and I honestly couldn’t recommended them enough. Always a warm welcome from the team Carly and Marina. The treatment is thoroughly professional and sorts out my chronic rosacea everytime, it’s a 10 out of 10 from me.

Before going in for my HIFU treatment I did some reading about the procedure, particularly about the side effects. One that had me a bit worried was being blotchy and red as I do have sensitive skin. However, Flavio was so gentle that I didn’t experience any redness after the treatment or pain during the procedure. Their staff is so friendly from the minute you call them to book an appointment to them performing the procedure. They update you with every step of the process so that you are aware of what they are doing to your face. I highly recommend their services they have indeed impressed me and I can’t wait for my next appointment with them. #HappyClient

I have been to other clinics and it is the first time the staff has been amazing, they showed they are actually passionate for what they do and they do care for the patients. I am over the moon with the treatments I received, I can say I’ve got incredible results. Definitely going back to Fiore for future treatments, and highly recommend it. Thank you so much Flavio, truly appreciate your commitment!

Great combination of the new and improved HIFU and new skin pen with ultrasound! Both treatments combined have massively improved the skin texture and lifting of facial contours, not even 24 downtime and virtually painless in my case, loved it! Would definitely recommend this combo or even as separate treatments as I did see big improvements on each session! Also the clinic is always at such high standards and always immaculately presented! Thank you, will be back!

FAQs

What are the most effective non-surgical treatments for excess hair?

At Fiore, we believe in the power of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) to combat excess hair because it is highly effective, safe, reduces future ingrown hairs, and offers long-lasting results.

Our IPL treatments can effectively reduce the density, thickness, and visibility of unwanted hair over multiple sessions. However, since hirsutism is hormone-related, hair can regrow if hormonal imbalances persist.

IPL is safe for most skin types, but how well it works depends on your skin colour and hair colour. If you have darker skin, there is a bigger chance of side effects if it is not done right. That’s why it is important to go to a qualified professional.

IPL hair reduction can be used on many parts of your body, including your face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini area.

People who are pregnant, have certain skin problems like eczema or psoriasis, have had skin cancer, or are taking medicines that make skin sensitive to light should not have IPL. It’s important to talk to a trained professional first to make sure it’s safe for you.

Bear in mind, hair growth varies from person to person. Some hair may grow back after stopping IPL treatments, but usually it will be finer and lighter than before. To keep results, many people have occasional maintenance sessions.
